  //  1. %RAX is null: since we constrain <offset> to be less than PageSize, the

  //     fault.

  //  2. %RAX is not null: in this case we know that the load cannot fault, as
  //     otherwise the load would've faulted in the original program too and the
  //     original program would've been undefined.
  //
  // This reasoning cannot be extended to justify hoisting through arbitrary
  // control flow.  For instance, in the example below (in pseudo-C)
  //
  //    if (ptr == null) { throw_npe(); unreachable; }
  //    if (some_cond) { return 42; }
  //    v = ptr->field;  // LD
  //    ...
  //
  // we cannot (without code duplication) use the load marked "LD" to null check
  // ptr -- clause (2) above does not apply in this case.  In the above program
  // the safety of ptr->field can be dependent on some_cond; and, for instance,
  // ptr could be some non-null invalid reference that never gets loaded from
  // because some_cond is always true.
